Product Previews
up to 1200 kg can be machined in five axes. The D800Z offers a five-face milling mode to minimize setup, maximizing access to complex, multisided parts and reducing cycle times, or to address the demanding angular, blending, matching, fine-sur- face finishes and 3D accuracy requirements of die-and-mold components. The system features an integral, direct-drive motor design of the fourth and fifth axes and highly rigid sup- porting machine structure, plus core-cooled ballscrews and temperature control of the direct-drive motors.

High-Speed Camera The compact, lightweight Fastcam Mini UX100 camera is aimed at applica- tions including biomechan- ics, automotive imaging, fluidics, life sciences, and ballistics testing. The new
one-piece high-speed imager provides 1280 × 1024-pixel resolution to 4000 frames per second, 720 high-definition (HD) resolution (1280 × 720 pixels) to 6400 fps, and reduced resolution operation up to 800,000 fps. The global electronic shutter operates down to 1 microsecond to provide blur free, black-and-white imagery with 12-bit pixel depth (36 bits for the color version). Light sensitivity is ISO 12232 at 8000 ISO 12-bit monochrome, and 4000 ISO for the 36-bit color ver- sion. The system offers powerful performance in a compact 120 × 120 × 90-mm package, and weighs only 1.5 kg. Avail- able with three onboard memory options up to 16 GB, the camera’s CMOS sensor features 10-micron square pixels and the camera also features a Gigabit Ethernet interface. Photron Inc.

Expanded Toolholder Line
The EH exchangeable-head system has been expanded to include a wide assortment of solid carbide heads, indexable milling cutters, boring heads, integrated machine adaptors and different shanks. The EH exchangeable head coupling is based on a self-centering screw thread for secure mount- ing and maximum strength and security. The coupling has a physical stop, which makes it easy to feel when the head is correctly tightened and helps to not overstress the clamping.

Fine Particulate Filtration
The Prab Candle Filter is a one-micron filtration unit for fine particulate removal from spent oil and coolant. Specifically engineered for EDM, tungsten-carbide tool and cutter grind- ing, honing, and precision grinding applications, the filter affords 85% less maintenance over other filtration methods. This means changing the sludge bag every four months versus every two weeks for most machin- ing and grinding ap- plications. The system’s candle-like filter element is composed of thou- sands of thin disks that are compressed tightly
by a spring. When dirty fluid passes through the tiny gaps between the disks, all particles one micron and larger are trapped on the outside edges of the filter element. The filter is automatically cleaned by a rapid backwash cycle. This cycle uses air to blow out particles trapped on the discs and then purges them into a sludge collecting basket. The Candle Filter offers flow rates ranging from 13 to 80 gpm (49-303 l/min). Prab Inc.
